Lol, thanks for the positive encouragement, Barkley and Jaded! So far I'm about a month in with these issues and I'm hoping the dealer can solve them for good. It's a 5 star, so hopefully that says something.

As for my boat...I heard somewhere that AZ has some of the highest boat ownership per capita than any other state. Not sure how true that is. We have about 6 lakes (manmade) surrounding the Phoenix metro area that I cruise around at. The good lake is Lake Powell (UT, AZ border), lake Mead, or lake mohave, that give you some room to run through a tank of gas!

No snowmobiles...but parts of the state do get quite a bit of snow. I remember walking to class in college in Flagstaff (N. AZ) and it was 3 degrees outside w/ a wind chill.

I hear ya, I used to live out in Buckeye. I used to see boats in many yards in Phoenix, one of those things that I never figured out... Wish I would have got out more while I was there. I did make it to the Salt River. Learned an important life lesson about drinking beer in the sun there.

Hope the dealer gets ya fixed without too much of a dent in the wallet.

Lol Havasu and Powell both justify big boats.

A 20' on Powell during a windy or busy day does not feel like a big boat, haha! I've been slapped around once or twice to say the least.
